Lee Chae-min, in charge of ‘Visuals’, “I also pay a lot of attention to external aspects”
He will be leading the drama as the lead role of Hwang Jae-yeol in MBC‘s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Barney and His Brothers’, which will be aired for the first time on the 11th.
The drama is a romance about Barney finding a boyfriend who suddenly gets entangled with attractive men after her first love, which remains a dark history. It is based on a popular webtoon of the same name, which has garnered 170 million cumulative views.
Lee Chae-min attended the drama production conference held at Yongsan CGV in Seoul on the afternoon of the 3rd and said, “Since it’s a drama with a pleasant excitement and good tension, I paid a lot of attention to the external aspects,” and added, “She has a friend who has an inner tsundere-like charm, so I tried to show those eyes and actions.”
This is Lee Chae-min‘s second time working with Noh Jung-eui, who plays the female lead, since ‘Hairaki’. In the drama, Noh Jung-eui plays Ban Hee-jin, nicknamed “Bani.”
Lee Chae-min said, “The personalities of our characters were the complete opposite of ‘Hairaki’. Since we had already worked together once, we were able to communicate comfortably.”
She continued, “If there’s one thing that‘s a little different, it’s that unlike ‘Hairaki’ where we focused on the case and developed it, this time there‘s a lot of romance, so there are a lot of exciting parts. “We had fun filming while talking about how to create fun scenes,” he said.
He continued, “All the cast members were around the same age,” and said, “There was no problem communicating, they joke around a lot, they were really bright, and all the scenes were filled with love. That kind of attitude came through on set.”
